Developer Survey Reveals Greater Linux Development

"Which, of course, reveals one huge bias in this report: though
non-Eclipse users could participate in the survey, the report's
creators freely stipulate that most respondents were users of
Eclipse and therefore answers would be biased accordingly. I'm not
knocking this bias--in fact, I have higher respect for surveys like
this when they are up front about such things. But it's nonetheless
important to point out the context of these results, since this is
just one sector of the larger developer community.

"Clearly, the results that will be getting the most play in the
tech media will be the rise of Linux as a favored platform for
development. This year, 32.7 percent of respondents cited Linux as
their development platform, up 5.8 percent from 2009, and 12.7
percent from the 2007 survey."
